The trade organization had a long history in china, the traditional guild was especial significance to the merchants who were in the lowest status in feudatorial times. At the later of Qing dynasty and beginning of the Republic of China, the traditional guild changed into the Trade Association slowly along with economy development. The Trade Association existed not only as the group of merchants or ordinary trade organization, but also as a trade-governance way, which had profound system meanings, including complex connections and variable factors between the government and the corporations, between the country and the society. The Trade Association system was connected with the chamber system tightly, which influenced the country and the course of politics, economy and society in some way.

In order to consummate the chamber system, strengthen social management and accelerate economy, the government constructed the Trade Association system through legislation all the time.
